Conor Gallagher is at a standstill in contract negotiations with Chelsea, despite his determination to secure his long-term future at the club. The talks have reportedly made 'no significant progress' and are currently at an impasse, according to @MailSport. Chelsea's manager, Mauricio Pochettino, has expressed his appreciation for Gallagher, stating the player 'loves to play for Chelsea' but clarified that the contract situation is 'between the club and Conor'. Pochettino emphasized his role as coach, focusing on making the best decisions for the team and club, and distanced himself from the contract negotiations. Additionally, despite Pochettino's recent comments on football being about players and not specialists, Chelsea is pursuing a recruitment plan for specialist set piece coaches, following their exposure against Liverpool, indicating a potential divergence in views between the manager and the club's recruitment strategy.
